Abstract
A new muricid is described from deep water in the Wagner Basin, in the northern Sea of Cortez, Mexico, 65 kilometers south of Puerto Peňasco, Sonora, Mexico. The only living relative of this new species is Forreria belcheri (Hinds, 1843), which ranges from Santa Barbara, California, to Laguna Scammons, Baja California, Mexico. This new endemic species has been brought to light by shrimp trawling activities, and is thought to be a relict deep water population left behind in the northern Sea of Cortez during the Pleistocene.
